Our Me2 Programme aims to counter the negative attitudes and social barriers that often prevent disabled young people (including young people with additional needs) or those affected by social isolation or social anxiety from being included in mainstream youth and leisure activities. This is achieved by bringing together disabled young people aged 10 to 19 with non-disabled peer mentors aged 15 to 19.

The Me2 Project Support Officer will focus on supporting the effective delivery of the Me2 Programme through face to face and telephone support to the mentors, mentees, parents and clubs participating.
